Pedro Pascal is unstoppable. He’s headlining two of the biggest TV shows on the air right now: The Last of Us on HBO and The Mandalorian on Disney+. What’s next for the man who played Oberyn Martell on Game of Thrones?
Well, if Twitter has its way, Pascal will star in a biopic about pro wrestling legend Eddie Guerrero, who some fans consider one of the best to ever step into the ring. Looking at a side-by-side image, I do see the resemblance:
This tweet quickly went rival and Twitter got on board. “I never knew I wanted this until now but now that’s all I want!!!” wrote @guyzies. “Best idea I’ve heard all day,” wrote @KamenWeaver. Folks even started mocking up posters:
That said, as many fans pointed out, Pascal is 47 years old while Guerrero died tragically of heart failure at 38. But with de-aging technology what it is these days, time means less and less at the movies.
Game of Thrones alum Natalie Dormer lands lead role in South African thriller
So that’s a dream gig for Pascal, if he can find time between all of these other dream gigs. But other Game of Thrones stars are landing jobs too, including Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell), whom Deadline reports will play the lead role in the new series White Lies.
Produced by British studio Fremantle, White Lies is about an investigative journalist (Dormer) whose brother is murdered in his luxury home in Cape Town, South Africa. Dormer’s character Edie will explore the seedy underbelly of the wealthy Bishopscourt neighborhood, find herself at odds with the detective investigating the case, and discover that her brother’s teenage children may have committed the murder.
“I’m thrilled to be in Cape Town and to begin filming this beautiful, gripping show,” Dormer said in a statement. “South Africa has so much to offer an international audience with its storytelling.” There’s no release date for White Lies yet.
Game of Thrones alum Richard Madden stars in Citadel on Amazon Prime Video
Finally, Amazon has released a trailer for the heady new series Citadel, starring Game of Thrones alum Richard Madden. Check out Stanley Tucci being ominous below:
Citadel is a spy drama. Madden plays Citadel agent Mason Kane while Priyanka Chopra plays Citadel agent Nadia Singh. What exactly is a Citadel agent? I dunno, that’s what the show is for.
The first two episodes of Citadel premiere on Amazon Prime Video on April 28. There are six episodes in total.
